      PIMCO’s Smart Passive Index ETFs:

       
      PIMCO’s active portfolio management expertise strongly influences how we think about and manage our index ETFs. We feel our Smart Passive approach to managing fixed income index ETFs includes smart:
       
      • Index Selection and Design – smart passive fixed income investing begins with a smart index, which we determine is structurally sound and stable, suitable, scalable and specific
      • Portfolio Replication – a better portfolio replication method starts with matching key economic risk factors and focuses on liquidity, market access and minimization of transaction costs
      • Portfolio Execution and Rebalancing – a disciplined approach to trading and multiple trading relationships are crucial for best execution and minimizing transaction costs
